Monica Beresford-Redmanwas on vacation with her family, staying at the Moon Palace Hotel in Cancun. She told her husband, "Survivor" producer Bruce Beresford-Redman, that she planned to spend Monday shopping. She never returned to the hotel, says her sister Jeane Burgos. "I really have no clue whatsoever what happened," said her sister, who joined the family in Mexico to assist in the search.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed that a missing persons report was filed in Los Angeles. Detectives said they will now contact the U.S. State Department and the embassy in Cancun to make them aware of the case.

Odd that she didn't take her cell with her... but if she is in an area where an American serviced cell is useless, I would understand not carrying it with her when she went out. I do understand her not taking her passport (even though it is always in ones best interest, in a foreign country, to keep it on you when you are out and about), I always lock mine up when I travel, for fear of losing it.

Given that she is a well-off business lady and tied to a tv producer, the first thing that goes through my mind: it's Mexico... kidnappings are rampant there... her monetary status would probably make her a kidnapping target.
